During the recent epidemic of DENGUE at Anugul and Dekhanal district of Orissa lots of patients were referred to Bhubaneswar and Cuttack for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment.Ayush hospital where i work as consultant physician has the responsibility of treating these patients.The most interesting thing was the neurological deficits in these dengue patients which mimic like LGB(LANDRY GUILLAIN_ BARRE) syndrome.I had the opportunity to pick up three such patients with neurological deficits.To my knowledge this rare complication is not noticed by many physicians and not high lighted.This is an observation which needs documentation for the next generation of doctors .All my patients improved with in two weeks.The neurological problems appear during or after the illness.This may be treated as case report from a physician with 35 years of experience.
